Privacy
The short version
picker.ink has no accounts, no analytics, and no database of players. Your results live in your own browser. The one significant exception is advertising: ads on this site are served by Google, and that involves cookies. The details follow.
What stays on your device
The game saves your progress in your browser's local storage, on your device. Nothing in it is sent to us. The complete list:
- Your theme choice.
- Your latest daily result and current streak.
- Past daily results, so the calendar can show them.
- Whether you have seen the first-visit tip.
- Your last chosen difficulty.
- Your duel display name, if you ever set one.
- Whether duel sound is on or off.
Clearing this site's data in your browser deletes all of it. We cannot recover it, because we never had it. There is also no way to sync it to another device.
Advertising
This site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. You can opt out of some other third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
Consent in the EEA and UK
If you visit from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you will see a consent message before any personalized ads load. It is provided by Google's certified consent management platform, and you can decline personalized ads there. You can change your choice later from the same message.
Fonts
Pages load fonts from Google Fonts. Your browser requests those files from Google's servers, which sees your IP address as it would for any web request. No cookies are involved in font delivery.
Hosting
The site is served by Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare keeps standard infrastructure logs, such as IP addresses and request metadata, under its own privacy policy. We run no analytics of our own and see no per-visitor dashboard.
The duel relay
The optional duel mode connects two browsers through a small relay server. What passes through it: the display name you typed (if any), a random session and player id, the match settings, and your dial positions as you finish each color. Scores are computed on each player's device and never sent. The relay holds messages only while your opponent is briefly disconnected, and deletes them once delivered. Invite links expire after a day. There is no account, no match history, and no long-term storage on the server.
What this site does not do
No analytics scripts. No accounts or sign-in. No email lists. No selling of data, because there is no data to sell.
